Using Credit Cards Wisely
Using credit cards in a responsible way can reflect well to lenders, open up job opportunities, help you qualify for housing and even get you better rates on insurance. It also allows for peace of mind, knowing that you can use credit cards to cover emergency costs or as a widely-accepted form of payment when you travel.
On the other hand, credit cards can also be a major temptation to spend money on items you cannot afford.
Join us for this free webinar to learn how sticking to a few guiding principles and staying vigilant can help you successfully use credit cards to achieve your dreams and get you closer to your goals.
